The Oilers reassigned Cave to AHL Bakersfield on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

We could read into this move as the Oilers opening a roster spot for Connor McDavid (quadriceps) being activated from IR, but tread lightly. Bakersfield plays Saturday, so Cave could get some ice time and still be recalled for Sunday's game versus the Kings.

Cave was recalled from AHL Bakersfield on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Cave had a brief NHL stint in December but hasn't appeared in a contest with the big club since November. The 6-foot-1 forward has 20 points in 40 AHL appearances this season and one goal in five NHL games. Both Connor McDavid (knee) and James Neal (ankle) are questionable for Tuesday's game against Chicago. If either aren't able to suit up, Cave could make his way into the lineup

The Oilers reassigned Cave to AHL Bakersfield on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

With the Oilers activating Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (hand) off injured reserve, they made room on the roster by shifting Cave to the AHL. Cave played just five games with the big club this season, potting one goal and averaging 10:52 of ice time.

The Oilers recalled Cave from AHL Bakersfield on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

With Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (hand) on IR and Zack Kassian (back) ruled out for Wednesday's matchup against the Senators, Cave will serve as the 13th forward for the contest. Cave has accrued five points and a minus-11 rating over 16 AHL games, and he'll likely top out at a bottom-six role with Edmonton if he enters the lineup.

Cave was demoted to the minors Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Sending Cave to AHL Bakersfield is a good indication Riley Sheahan (undisclosed) is nearing a return to the lineup ahead of Friday's tilt versus New Jersey. The 24-year-old Cave garnered one goal, two shots and 12 hits in five games with the Oilers this season. While he figures to be atop the list of potential call-ups, Cave figures to play the bulk of his games in the minors this year.

Cave scored his first goal of the season in Saturday's 2-1 overtime win over the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

Called up from AHL Bakersfield on Friday, Cave made a quick impact as he opened the scoring in the second period by beating Marcus Pettersson wide then cutting to the net and waiting out Matt Murray before tucking the puck home past the sprawling netminder. Cave managed only three goals and eight points in 53 games last year while splitting time between Boston and Edmonton, and his fourth-line assignment won't give the 24-year-old too many more opportunities to hit the scoresheet while he's on the NHL roster.

The Oilers recalled Cave from AHL Bakersfield on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Riley Sheahan is dealing with an undisclosed injury, so Cave will be on hand in case the former is unable to go Saturday against Pittsburgh. The 24-year-old Cave has picked up three helpers in six games with Bakersfield this campaign.
